Pinch

Our Pinch salt and pepper set designed by Craighton Berman arrived and brightened what was the dark end to a gloomy and rainy day.

It’s more lightweight than it looks, and deceptively sturdy. I wanted one of the ones from his first run through Kickstarter because they were made here in Seattle.

It’s a great size. The pepper ball is pleasingly plump and sits in the base hovering over top of the Maldon sea salt (my favorite). It’s delightful to use. I’m in love with my salt and pepper set. Is that wierd?

I think there’s enough love in this world for even a salt & pepper set to deserve some.
One thing I’ve run into with some sets is, the pepper holes are too small. Does the hole for the pepper seem large enough?

Kat, Faye – It calls for extra fine ground pepper, I’m both within shopping distance of a Penzey’s and have an adjustable pepper grinder so it’s no trouble. And the amount of pepper that comes out is just perfect. Promise.

Kay – Yay! Kickstarter totally saved Christmas. It was the one gift we bought for ourselves that we really loved. That said, I should note that ours arrived after Christmas because I let Craighton know through Kickstarter that we really didn’t need to get it by Christmas — for the public record it wasn’t late!

So glad you got this and love it. We got one and I couldn’t be happier. The pepper hole is perfect and I’ve run the included pepper through it and tested with my own fresh-ground pepper that I make in my hand-crank Turkish coffee grinder (weird, but the adjustable grind on it makes me WAY happy). So I love that I can Grind my own fresh pepper before a dinner party and put this on the table.

My only quandry is that I have to keep it in a cabinet because my impossible kitten has decided that it is a toy (BALLL!!!) so I can’t look at it all the time.

Margo – He will! They’ll be available more widely shortly. I’m sure I’ll post about it here because I plan on buying a second one (confession: we eat dinner in front of the TV more than we eat dinner at the dining room table).
